  • Composite of lampblack and printer toner powder as a low-cost counter electrode material for dye-sensitized solar cells

    摘要: Lampblack prepared by using a traditional mustard oil lamp was mixed with printer toner in the ratio of 1:1 by weight and the composite was used as a low-cost catalyst for the reduction of tri-iodide ions in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). The X-ray diffraction (XRD) of the lampblack showed that the lampblack contains a carbonaceous material of graphitic form. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of the lampblack and printer toner revealed that the lampblack consists of a few tens of nanometer to 100 nanometer sized particles (or nanosheet) whereas the toner powder consists of micron sized particles. The adhesion test of the composite film on the counter electrode (CE) of the DSC showed that the composite film is firmly attached on the CE. The DSCs based on the composite yielded the overall light to electricity conversion efficiency of 3.20 % (Jsc = 7.90 mA/cm2, Voc = 0.667 V and FF = 0.607) compared with 4.18 % efficiency (Jsc = 8.56 mA/cm2, Voc = 0.748 V and FF = 0.654) of the DSC based on platinum when the solar cells were tested in the simulated light of 100 mW/cm2.

  • A Blue Photosensitizer Realizing Efficient and Stable Green Solar Cells via Color Tuning by the Electrolyte

    摘要: Semitransparent dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) are appealing as aesthetically pleasing and colorful see-through photovoltaics. Green semitransparent DSCs have been presented, but the best ones rely on green zinc porphyrin photosensitizers and high volatile electrolytes. For potential outdoor applications, the zinc porphyrin DSCs employing ionic liquid electrolytes merely reached a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 6.3% even with opaque mesoporous TiO2 films. Herein, the new green DSC is realized by using a blue organic photosensitizer in conjunction with an orange ionic-liquid-based electrolyte, presenting a simple and an effective path for color tuning of photovoltaics. The new approach allows for broadly modulating the color from spring green to cyan by tuning the contributions of the light absorption by the dye-sensitized TiO2 film and the electrolyte layer. The new semitransparent DSCs with spring green to cyan colors have PCEs ranging from 6.7% to 8.1% and show stability for 1000 h under accelerated ageing test at 80 °C, superior to the zinc porphyrin DSCs. The findings pave a new way to achieve efficient and stable colorful solar cells.

  • Dye-sensitized solar cells based on TiO2 nanoparticles-decorated ZnO nanorod arrays for enhanced photovoltaic performance

    摘要: Herein, we report a successful approach for the vertically aligned ZnO nanorod arrays (ZNAs) deposited on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate by hydrothermal process. TiO2 nanoparticles were grown on the ZNAs by dip-coating. ZNAs and TiO2 nanoparticles (TNPs)-decorated ZNAs (TNPs@ZNAs) were used as a photoanode in dye-sensitized solar cells. The influence of bath temperature for the attainment of uniform decoration of TiO2 nanoparticles onto ZnO nanorod arrays and the photovoltaic performances of the assembled dye-sensitized solar cells were studied. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the TNPs@ZNAs arrays prepared at a bath temperature of 120 °C can reach 4.47%, representing better improvement when compared with ZNAs photoanode (3.15%).

  • Thickness-dependent hole-blocking capability of RF-sputtered nickel oxide compact layers in dye-sensitized solar cells

    摘要: Photo-generated charge carrier recombination in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) is observed to be suppressed significantly at the interface between transparent fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) by coating nickel oxide (NiO) thin film by RF sputtering. UV-Visible optical absorption spectroscopic measurements performed in the wavelength window of 300–800 nm showed ~ 60% average transmittance for NiO thin films coated for 10 min. The calculated optical bandgap value for NiO was 3.4 eV. The RF-sputtered NiO films were thoroughly characterized by X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy to examine Ni 2p3/2 and Ni 2p1/2 along with O 1s. The present study assessed the effect of 5, 10, and 15 min RF-sputtered NiO thin films at the interface between FTO and mesoporous TiO2. Results showed that charge transport in DSSCs is highly sensitive to NiO thickness at the interface between FTO and TiO2. It was specifically noticed that 10 min coating of NiO on FTO yielded DSSCs with photo-conversion efficiency (η) of ~ 6.8% while DSSCs with no NiO on FTO showed only 4.9%. Further increase in NiO thickness affected the performance of DSSCs due to the significant reduction in tunneling probability from TiO2 to FTO.

  • Effective Fixation of Carbon in ga??C <sub/>3</sub> N <sub/>4</sub> Enabled by Mga??Induced Selective Reconstruction

    摘要: The methodology of metal-involved preparation for carbon materials is favored by researchers and has attracted tremendous attention. Decoupling this process and the underlying mechanism in detail are highly required. Herein, the intrinsic mechanism of carbon fixation in graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) via the magnesium-involved carbonization process is reported and clarified. Magnesium can induce the displacement reaction with the small carbon nitride molecule generated by the pyrolysis of g-C3N4, thus efficiently fixing the carbon onto the in situ template of Mg3N2 product to avoid the direct volatilization. As a result, the N-doped carbon nanosheet frameworks with interconnected porous structure and suitable N content are constructed by reconstruction of carbon and nitrogen species, which exhibit a comparable photoelectric conversion efficiency (8.59%) and electrocatalytic performances to that of Pt (8.40%) for dye-sensitized solar cells.

  • A novel PEDOT:PSS/SWCNH bilayer thin film counter electrode for efficient dye-sensitized solar cells

    摘要: Thin platinum deposited over fluorine-doped tin oxide glass substrate is a well-known and widely used counter electrode for efficient dye-sensitized solar cells. In this paper, we investigated a potential and Pt-free bilayer thin film counter electrode based on single wall carbon nanohorn over PEDOT:PSS film. The bilayer thin film counter electrode was developed using a simple spin coat process. The results of atomic force microscope and scanning electron microscope unveil the uniform distribution of single wall carbon nanohorns over PEDOT:PSS with average size of 76 nm. The extensive electrochemical analysis demonstrated superior electrocatalytic behavior for bilayer counter electrode with lower peak-to-peak separation potential of 0.6 V, lower Rs and RCT values of 25.9 Ω and 399 Ω, and higher Jo value of 2.4 mA cm?2. The fabricated DSSC using bilayer counter electrode witnessed higher power conversion efficiency of 5.1%, compared to PEDOT:PSS (3.87%) and SWCNH (1.88%), and is almost equivalent to the platinum-based counter electrode (5.53%). The present study of bilayer counter electrode has great potential in terms of low-cost and non-platinum counter electrode for dye-sensitized solar cell applications.

  • Composite electrode of TiO2 particles with three kinds of crystal phases for significantly improved performance of dye-sensitized solar cells

    摘要: A novel composite electrode of TiO2 particles with three kinds of crystal phases is fabricated for improving the dye-sensitized solar cell's performance. The photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar cell with the content of 30 wt% brookite nanocubes and 70 wt% P25 could reach 7.40%. It is obvious that brookite nanocubes are advantageous in terms of reduced charge recombination and higher voltage. On the other hand, P25 gives advantages of high surface area for dye loading and higher charge collection efficiency. This work shows a new photoelectrode design for enhanced energy conversion of DSSCs.

  • Electrodeposition of hierarchical zinc oxide nanostructures on metal meshes as photoanodes for flexible dye-sensitized solar cells

    摘要: Hierarchical zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorod arrays (ZNRAs) were fabricated on stainless steel meshes via a two-step electrodeposition approach as flexible dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) photoanodes. The two-step electrodeposition was realized by deposition of primary ZNRAs followed by growth of secondary branched ZnO nanorods on the primary ZnO nanorods surfaces. The morphologies of ZNRAs and the photovoltaic performances of the assembled DSSCs with different deposition conditions of primary ZNRAs were compared in detail. After modulating electrodeposition conditions, the DSSC assembled with hierarchical ZNRAs obtained an optimum photovoltaic performance with power conversion efficiency of 1.81 %.

  • Influence of the meso-substituents of zinc porphyrins in dye-sensitized solar cell efficiency with improved performance under short periods of white light illumination

    摘要: The sensitization activity of four zinc metalloporphyrin dyes: meso-tetrakis(4-pyridyl)porphyrinato Zn(II) (a), meso-triphenyl-(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrinato Zn(II) (b), meso-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrinato Zn(II) (c) and meso-tripyridyl(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrinato Zn(II) (d) is reported here, in terms of current-potential curve, open-circuit potential, fill factor, and overall solar energy conversion efficiency which have been evaluated under 100 mW/cm2 light intensity and their performances compared to the benchmark N719 (di-tetrabutylammonium cis-bis(isothiocyanato)bis(2,2′-bipyridyl-4,4′-dicarboxylato) ruthenium(II). This work focus the structural aspects of dyes with anchoring groups using TiO2-based Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs), which includes pyridyl and carboxyphenyl acid groups and argue how the combination of both anchoring groups, in the same structure, may allow relevant optimization of DSSCs performance in the near future. Also, a noticeable improvement in the photovoltaic performance of all dyes, reaching a maximum increase from 25% to 69% in the overall DSSC efficiency under short periods of white light illumination is discussed.

  • Ionic conductivity enhancement of a??soggy sanda?? electrolytes with AlOOH nanofibers for dye-sensitized solar cells

    摘要: As one of the main components, inorganic nanofillers have important effect on the performance of “soggy sand” electrolytes. In this study, we first incorporate AlOOH nanofibers into ionic liquid electrolytes to enhance the mechanical property and ionic conductivity of the electrolytes. The AlOOH nanofiber has high aspect ratio coupled with favorable surface properties such as rich hydroxyl groups, which facilitate to interact with cations of ionic liquids, promote salt dissociation, and form stable gels by self-assembly. In addition, the nanofiber fillers with high aspect ratio can form ion-conducting network channels and longer-range continuous ion transport pathways. The enhancing ionic conductivity of “soggy sand” electrolytes and performance of DSSCs due to addition of AlOOH nanofibers are systematically investigated by various techniques. The highest ionic conductivity of “soggy sand” electrolyte reaches 3.69 mS cm?1 at room temperature, which is 4 times than that of the pristine ionic liquid electrolyte. The effective solidification by AlOOH nanofibers provides substantial improvements in stability. The “soggy sand” electrolytes with AlOOH nanofibers can significantly improve the performance of devices by accelerating charge transport, reducing electron recombination and increasing charge collection efficiency. The DSSC with AlOOH nanofibers in electrolyte yields a high efficiency up to 7.89%, which is 29% higher than that of the reference device.
